Info

If a test is missed, a grade of zero will be recorded unless excused by proper authority because of illness oremergency. Make-up tests will be given only in case of illness * or by arrangement in advance with theinstructor.Grading: Homework and Project: 20%Test 1: 25%Test 2: 25%Final Exam: 30%The letter grade will be based on a straight 90-80-70-60… scale.Students should keep copies of ALL homework and exams in case of errors in grading records by theinstructor.The final exam is comprehensive, and will cover all material from the semester with weighting toward the lastfew chapters.Expected Learning Outcomes: This is a detailed course in Heat Transfer. Typically, students taking thiscourse are mechanical engineering (ME) and aerospace engineering (AE) students. In this course, you will:• develop an understanding of physical concepts, rate equations, conservation equations and analogies toother disciplines of heat transfer the modes of heat transfer• enhance your analytical, mathematical, numerical and experimental (as applicable) skills in applied heattransfer concepts• Establish the relationship of the concepts of heat transfer to thermal system behavior and the designprocessABET Outcomes: This course, consistent with the expected learning outcomes above, supports ABETOutcomes:“Graduates will have” -A - “an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering.”B - “an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze data.”C - “an ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs.”E - “an ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.”H - “Graduates will have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in aglobal and societal context”.J - “Graduates will have a knowledge of contemporary issues”Class lectures, homework and projects will be aimed at promoting these outcomes as they apply to this course.Teaching Philosophy: As the instructor, I will do everything possible to help you learn and understand thematerial, but you must do your part. The student is ultimately responsible for actually learning the materialIn my course, a grade of “C” means that you have gained an average knowledge of the topic material and havea grasp of only the basic concepts. It is not a trivial matter to obtain an “A” in my course, but by the sametoken, it is also difficult to get an “F”.If you have a question on material, the textbook and homework, how I graded, and life in general, come andsee me. I am always open to answering your questions or meeting with to discuss your questions andconcerns. . I teach engineering courses because I love helping students learn and enjoy the interaction withstudents. Please DO NOT hesitate to ask for help at any time.Notes on Class Etiquette:* A note from a physician or the university infirmary is required.
• Make sure cell phones are turned off, or at minimum set to vibrate, during lecture. I do not want to hearyour cell phone.• Please do not type text messages or listen to music in class.• If you are so tired that you will likely fall asleep in class, stay home. Your bed will be much morecomfortable than the desk.• Do not engage in idle chat with friends during lecture. It is distracting to me and there are students aroundyou that want to hear the lecture.Social Justice Statement: “West Virginia is committed to social justice. I concur with that commitment andexpect to maintain a positive learning environment based upon open communication, mutual respect, andnondiscrimination. Our University does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, age, disability, veteranstatus, religion, sexual orientation, color or national origin.” Any suggestions as to how to further such apositive and open environment in this class will be appreciated and given serious consideration.Special Needs: If you are a person with a disability and anticipate needing any type of accommodation inorder to participate in this class, please advise your instructor and make appropriate arrangements withDisability Services (293-6700). Any student with a special need should feel free to meet with the instructor todiscuss possible accommodations.Academic Dishonesty: The integrity of the classes offered by any academic institution solidifies thefoundation of its mission and cannot be sacrificed to expediency, ignorance, or blatant fraud. Therefore, I willenforce rigorous standards of academic integrity in all aspects and assignments of this course. For the detailedpolicy of West Virginia University regarding the definitions of acts considered to fall under academicdishonesty and possible ensuing sanctions, please see the Student Conduct Code http://studentlife.wvu.edu/office_of_student_conduct/student_conduct_code. Should you have any questions aboutpossibly improper research citations or references, or any other activity that may be interpreted as an attempt atacademic dishonesty, please see me before the assignment is due to discuss the matter.Constructive criticism: Suggestions relative to the conduct, format, and content of the course are welcome. Ifyou have suggestions at any time during the semester contact your instructor. I take this VERY seriously.
